South African President Cyril Ramaphosa legalize NHI Bill.

-


 

There National Health insurance bill also known as the NHI Bill was formally signed and put into law yesterday 15 May 2024 by the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The President stated that the importance of the NHI Bill is to address the inequality in the health sector among the people of South Africa.

The NHI Bill will accommodate every individual in South Africa irrespective of their Socioeconomic status. This simply means that even unemployed citizen can enjoy private health care while the NHI fund covers the medical expense.

However, there seems to be limitations in terms of seeking medical care within the private sector as the private facility must be contracted with the NHI. Therefore, before utilizing private facilities individuals must ensure that these facilities are part of the NHI.

Many South Africans where concerned that the implementation of this bill will have a serious impact on taxpayers as this means that they will have to cover the expenses of the NHI fund. While many others are concerned that this might spike the unemployment rate further as individuals that are employed within companies offering medical aid might lose their jobs.
